Join us this Saturday, August 27 at 12:30 pm, for the Friends of Madison Library Book and Author Luncheon with crime novelist Cornelia Read, author of the Madeline Dare series of mysteries. Read’s first novel, “A Field of Darkness,” was nominated for an Edgar Award and she won a Shamus Award from the Private Eye Writers of America for her short story “Hungry Enough.” Definitely not a “cozy” mystery writer, Read’s murder mysteries include pointed social observations and biting wit for readers who appreciate irreverence and dark humor.
This event will begin with a homemade luncheon featuring a variety of summer salads (choices include chicken or shrimp), breads, cookies and a cold beverage. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased at the library; seating is limited. There will be copies of Cornelia Read’s books available for purchase and signing after the program.
